Derek White proposed the following answer:
Firefox is actually run from /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox.sh

Users would be able to bypass your command as it only changes access to one of the the symlinks.
Might even want to restrict access to 

Try this:
sh -c "sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox.sh && firefox && sudo chmod 754 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox.sh"

Possibly a better way would be to make it into a script:
#! /bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/runfirefox.sh

chmod 755 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox.sh
chmod 755 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
chmod 754 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox.sh
chmod 754 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox

exit 0

Save it as /usr/local/bin/runfirefox.sh & chmod it to 770.

Run it with sudo runfirefox.sh from a terminal.
